Hilmor 1839032 Operating instructions

  • Hello! I've reviewed the user manual for the hilmor 1839032 Tube Bender. This document provides detailed instructions on how to use this compact, one-handed tube bender with its color-coded mandrels for precise bends up to 90 degrees. I'm ready to answer any questions you have about it, including how to set it up, use its ratcheting lever or quick release. I am also aware of the color coding that is used on it.
  • How do I start using the bender?
    How do I choose the right size of bending mandrel?
    How do I set the bending shoes position?
BEND TUBES WITH ONE HAND.
Brains and brawn. Thanks to a spring-loaded ratcheting lever, you can knock out a
bend up to 90 degrees without breaking a sweat. And a quick-release button lets you
free the tube with ease and without damage. It’s time to add a little comfort to the
cramped and uncomfortable.
1. Remove the bender from the case, and release the handle using the slide lock
located on the right side of the tool.
2. Remove the compact bar from the case, and locate the size of tubing you want
to bend. Then, with the correct size facing upward, snap the bar onto the body.
3. Ensure that the ratchet bar is in the start position by pressing the green release
trigger located under the body.
4. Locate the correct size of bending mandrel, and slide the square hole onto the
ratchet bar with the size facing upward.
5. Using the color-coding on the mandrel, rotate the bending shoes on the
compact bar until the color that faces the mandrel matches the color on the
mandrel.
6. Place the tube between the mandrel and the compact bar, and squeeze the
lower handle to advance the ratchet bar and mandrel forward to bend the tube
to the desired angle.
7. When the desired bend angle has been achieved, release the lower handle and
press the release trigger located under the body to retract the mandrel and
ratchet bar to the start position.
8. Remove the bent tube, and admire your work.
